You say it seems like the end of the world
You say you think you're going to die of hunger
You haven't eaten for an hour or more
Need food, can't wait any longer

Just give it a little time

Traveling you're on an endless road
Strapped, locked inside a moving prison
This car is such a hopeless bore
You know you’ll never make your destination

Just give it a little time
It may need just a little more time
No need to push, besides what's the rush?
It may be better just to let it rest
It'll usually turn out fine
If you give it a little time

Playin' hard it happens all at once
Lose control, the fun is over
You're banged up and it hurts so much
You wonder if you will ever recover

Just give it a little time

Something's happened, no one understands
Feelings hurt, just can't explain it
There's no relief except to be alone
Feels so bad you will never forget it

Think of the sun or you can watch the moon
Cross the sky, they never hurry
Seasons change, tides come and go
We'll all grow, no need to worry

Just give it a little time

You say you want to be a superstar
Run faster, jump a little higher
Just keep moving you're bound to go far
Stay happy, don't push the river
